There are different degrees of cardiac allograft vasculopathy in patients with long term cardiac transplantation. Coronary angiography shows partial or diffuse coronary artery stenosis, which is one of the main causes of death. There are few typical symptoms of angina pectoris because of no autonomic innervation in transplanted heart. The first symptom to the end of the disease is severe congestive heart failure or arrhythmia. So the principles of diagnosis and treatment in long-term survivors should be in accordance with the coronary heart disease treatment. In this paper, we reported a case of anesthesia of a patient underwent stent implantation for abdominal aortic aneurysm after 8 years of cardiac transplantation. The preoperative preparation and perioperative management were performed according to the principle of coronary heart disease. The patient passed through the perioperative period safely.

Objective To investigate the disease types incurring poverty, patient population layout, and cost burden by poor households due to illness. Methods During the time August 17-24,2017, App questionnaires were used onsite for data survey at 2 824 poor hourseholds in Nanyang city of Henan province, in order to learn the impacts of the poverty-causing diseases on the labor capacity of the patients and the cost burdens. Such methods as descriptive analysis, rank sum test and correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results The survey found that 61.79 percent(1 745 households) of the poor households turned poor by illness, most of them aged 40 to 60 years old. The ten disease categories, namely cerebrovascular diseases, malignant tumor, ischemic heart diseases and mental diseases, constitute top disease causes of poverty. These diseases significantly damage their labor capacity, up to 37.67% of them totally disabled. The self-paid expenses of the patients per year accounted for 57.22% of the total annual expenses. Conclusions Medical insurance policies need to elevate the scope and efforts of medical compensation;public health services need to improve health promotion and health education; government supervision needs to be enhanced to keep minimizing patients′disease burdens.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of volume therapy guided by stroke volume variabil-ity ( SVV) in the patients undergoing surgery for severe traumatic brain injury. Methods Thirty patients of both sexes with severe traumatic brain injury, aged 18-64 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ, who were admitted to the hospital within 24 h after injury, with Glasgow Coma Scale ( GCS) score≤8, were divided into control group ( C group, n=15) and SVV group ( n=15) using a ran-dom number table method. In group C, conventional fluid administration was performed to maintain mean arterial pressure at 65-110 mmHg, central venous pressure at 5-12 cmH2 O and urine volume>1 ml·kg-1 ·h-1 . Fluid was given according to SVV, maintaining SVV≤13% and mean arterial pressure at 65-110 mmHg in group SVV. Immediately after skin incision ( T0 ) , immediately after opening cerebral dura mater ( T1 ) , at 1 h after opening cerebral dura mater ( T2 ) , immediately after suturing cerebral dura mater ( T3 ) and at the end of operation ( T4 ) , blood samples were collected from the radial artery and inter-nal jugular venous bulb for blood gas analysis, the jugular venous oxygen partial pressure, jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation, blood lactate, arterial oxygen partial pressure, arterial oxygen saturation and Hbwere recorded, and the cerebral artery and arteriovenous blood O2 content difference and cerebral O2 extrac-tion rate were calculated. Blood samples were collected from the internal jugular venous bulb at T0-2 , T4 and 24 h after operation ( T5 ) for determination of S100β protein concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay. The intraoperative volume of fluid intake and output and consumption of vasoactive drugs were recorded. GCS scores were recorded immediately after admission to the operating room, and at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after operation. The development of postoperative length of hospitalization and complications ( pul-monary infection and brain edema) was recorded. Glasgow Outcome Scale Score was used to assess the early postoperative quality of life. Results Compared with group C, the urine volume was significantly in-creased, the consumption of vasoactive drugs was reduced, jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation was in-creased at T2,3 , the cerebral O2 extraction rate was decreased at T2-4 , the serum S100β protein concentra-tion was decreased at T2 , and the GCS score was increased at day 3 after operation ( P<0. 05) , and no sig-nificant change was found in blood lactate, postoperative Glasgow Outcome Scale score or length of hospital-ization at each time point in group SVV ( P>0. 05) . Conclusion SVV-guided volume therapy can improve cerebral oxygen metabolism, ensure adequate tissue perfusion and reduce craniocerebral injury in the pa-tients undergoing surgery for severe traumatic brain injury.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and pregnancy outcome of fertility-preserving treatment for patients with stage Ⅰa, grade 2 endometrial cancer (EC).Methods:Clinical data was retrospectively collected for EC or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) patients treated in Peking University People's Hospital, Foshan First People's Hospital of Guangdong Province and First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, from 2010 to 2019. Inclusion criteria for fertility-preserving treatment included: (1) Age ≤45 years. (2) EC with histological differentiation of G 1, G 2 or endometrial AEH. (3) EC disease should be stage Ⅰa, confined to the endometrium without myometrial invasion, lymph node or extrauterine metastasis. Treatment regimen: patients were given oral progestin therapy and endometrial pathology was evaluated every three months. Patients were divided into three groups as G 2 EC group, G 1 EC group and AEH group based on the histological differentiation. Oncological and pregnancy outcomes were compared among them. Results:(1) Totally 57 eligible patients were included in this study, including 11 cases with G 2 EC, 22 cases with G 1 EC, and 24 cases with AEH. (2) Oncological outcome: among the three groups of G 2 EC, G 1 EC and AH, the complete remission rates (9/11, 91% and 96%, respectively) and recurrence rates (3/9, 30% and 22%, respectively) were not significantly different (all P>0.05). Median remission time was significantly longer in the G 2 EC group than those in the other two groups (8, 6 and 4 months; P=0.046). Among 9 G 2 EC patients who recurred after complete remission, three patients relapsed at 7, 18 and 53 months, respectively. All 3 patients chose fertility-sparing treatment again, and all achieved complete remission after retreatment. (3) Pregnancy outcome: among the three groups, the assisted reproduction technology rates (4/8, 5/18 and 36%, respectively) and pregnancy rates (6/8, 5/18 and 36%, respectively) had no significant difference ( P>0.05). However, time interval to pregnancy was shorter in G 2 EC patientsthan the other two groups (4, 9 and 22 months, respectively; P=0.006). Conclusions:Fertility-preserving treatment for patients with stageⅠa, G 2 endometrial cancer, may obtain a relatively high remission rate and an acceptable pregnancy rate. However, further exploration is needed due to the limited number of cases.
